O-I Glass, Inc.
A maker of glass bottles and jars for beer, wine, spirits, food, soft drinks, and medicines, O-I Glass runs dozens of plants across the Americas and Europe. The company traces its roots to Michael J. Owens, who invented the first fully automatic bottle-making machine in 1903, and to its 1929 merger with the Illinois Glass Company. Today it is one of the world's largest glass container makers, and its ULTRA technology makes bottles lighter while keeping them strong.
